Looking at Kong Fang stammering across the desk, Shi Shi's patience finally ran out.

She tapped her watch helplessly and said, "My dear cousin, allow me to remind you. You've been stammering for half an hour. As my assistant, you surely know how busy I am!"

Shishi emphasized the word "truly" through gritted teeth.

Kong Fang thought, how could such a beautiful cousin look like a demon who wanted to eat human bones? The way she gritted her teeth made it seem like she wanted to chew him up and swallow him.

He steeled himself and finally voiced his concerns: "Sis, you know, I recently got a girlfriend..."

Shishi reached out Erkang's hand, interrupting him: "How long have you been here? When did you get a girlfriend?"

Kong Fang scratched his head sheepishly and said with a hint of shyness, "Don't you often buy afternoon tea for the company's employees?"

Rubbing her eyes, which were stung by Kong Fang's appearance, Shi Shi asked matter-of-factly, "So your girlfriend works at the bubble tea shop?"

Kong Fang shook his head: "No, we met while queuing. She also works nearby."

Shishi gave a teasing smile: "You've only bought milk tea a few times, and you've already won her over? I didn't realize, young man! You're quite the hidden gem."

“Except for the very first time, we’ve run into each other every time since! After we exchanged contact information, she was so envious when she found out I work at TuMing! She’s a huge fan of yours!”

There was indeed a busy period around the Lunar New Year. Shishi treated everyone to milk tea and cakes four or five times. Now, only she is busy; most departments have returned to normal. Even she and her employees aren't working overtime anymore. And since she's mostly not in the office, the chances of Kong Fang running into her are incredibly low. Could it be that after being deceived so many times, his true love has finally arrived?

"Sis, we're not officially together yet. I need your help to give us a little push." ​​After saying that, Kong Fang pinched two fingers together, leaving only a small gap.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

"That... she's a huge fan of yours. Her biggest wish is to visit the places where you work and live."

This sounds a bit strange. If they are fans, why do they want to go to places she has been instead of meeting her in person?

Shishi's mind raced, but she remained outwardly calm. She casually asked, "That's it? Is that all you've been hesitating about? Tell her to come over after get off work today. I'll call Aunt Zhang and prepare some good dishes to treat her."

After saying that, Shishi immediately took out her phone, making a gesture as if she was about to make a call.

Kong Fang leaned forward and waved his hands repeatedly, asking Shi Shi to wait.

"No, sis! She's too shy to meet you. She's afraid of embarrassing herself in front of her idol. When you're not home, I'll bring her to the company, and then we can go for a walk around the villa."

A sharp glint flashed in Shi Shi's slightly lowered eyes.

"What were her exact words to you?"

"Oh? Oh, she said she wanted to visit the space where her idol used to hang out, and told me not to tell you. I guess she's afraid that if we get together, she'll feel embarrassed in front of you, her older sister."

Shishi couldn't help but look at him with the eyes of someone who was mentally challenged.

"You believed her just because she said that?"

Seemingly finding Shishi's words somewhat inexplicable, Kong Fang scratched his head and said to her matter-of-factly, "Of course I believe you! Xiao Ai is usually a very shy girl, she's even embarrassed to take photos with others."

Shishi was speechless. Someone who refused to have their picture taken and tried to sneak into her house and office without telling anyone. How outrageous! And someone actually believed it!

"Didn't she tell you not to tell me? What did you say?"

Kong Fang chuckled and leaned closer to Shi Shi, whispering, "I'm not stupid! She's my future girlfriend, but you're my bread and butter! If I offend her, I can just find another girlfriend! But if I offend you, I won't be able to find anyone else!"

...

Calling him stupid is an understatement; calling him cunning...

Shi Shi looked up and glanced at it…

Kong Fang met her gaze and responded with a silly, rough laugh.

What a load of rubbish!

After thinking for a moment, Shishi said to Kong Fang, "Your brother-in-law and I are going out on a date. We'll just stay home a little later. We'll give Aunt Sun and Aunt Zhang a break too."

"Thank you, sis! Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on him all night and make sure she doesn't touch any of your things!" He patted his chest as he finished speaking. "I know my boundaries perfectly, I understand all the rules!"

Shishi gave a smile that was hard to describe, waved her hand, and told this ridiculously stupid guy to get out. It was too much of an eyesore!

Kong Fang often brought things to her office, and she was afraid he might bring in something he shouldn't. Shi Shi picked up her phone and went outside to a quiet, deserted place before dialing: "Brother Niu, I need to talk to you about something."

Hearing the seriousness in her tone, Fu Yingzhou asked directly, "What happened?"

Shishi told him about Kong Fang's girlfriend's unusual behavior in this and that way.

After saying that, she added, "Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but what would I possibly want from you? You wouldn't be here for me, would you?"

"I'm not being paranoid, it really does sound strange. It's probably aimed at you. Don't forget, the World Music Competition is coming up soon."

Shi Shi suddenly realized: "You mean, she came for my work?"

Fu Yingzhou calmly replied, "That's possible. Your work has garnered a lot of attention in the industry, and someone might try to use underhanded tactics in this competition. If they want to steal your ideas, it makes sense to plan ahead."

Shishi frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then let's play along. I'll go on a normal date with you, and Kong Fang will bring his girlfriend. You can arrange for someone to secretly monitor her and see what she's up to."

Fu Yingzhou agreed, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Don't worry, with me here, they won't succeed."

After work, Shishi and Fu Yingzhou pretended to go on a date and left. Kong Fang brought Xiao Ai to the company and the villa. Xiao Ai appeared shy and curious, looking around, but her eyes occasionally revealed greed.

"Brother Kongfang, I'm a little thirsty. Could you pour me a glass of water?"

"No problem, wait for me here, I'll be right back, remember not to wander off."

After Kong Fang turned around, Xiao Ai rolled her eyes. She walked straight to what she thought was a blind spot, and when she thought no one was watching, she quietly approached Shi Shi's study. She took a signal jammer out of her clothes, quickly activated it, and then put it back inside.

This is their latest technology! Once activated, the villa's surveillance and alarm systems become useless—like eyes for a blind man!
